Sapphire

Sapphire Technology is a Hong Kong-based hardware manufacturer founded in 2001 that focuses mainly on AMD Radeon graphics cards in the consumer space. Sapphire was the first manufacturer to launch a graphics card with an HDMI output, but is mostly known today for its Nitro and Pulse series of cards. Nitro is the premium brand, with somewhat more advanced cooling solutions than Pulse, as well as higher factory overclocks of the GPU and sometimes also the VRAM.

Our meta review: Editors have generally found the Sapphire Radeon Nitro+ RX 590 SE to be a very good version of the available graphics cards based on the Polaris 30 XT chip. It's a clear improvement over the RX 580 and 570, but may still have a tough time competing with Nvidia's offerings in the same price range.
